Acqua Pazza California BistroGreat Mother's Day menuThe food was great and the service was excellent. One of my favorite restaurants.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMMother's Day DelightWe were early by 35 minutes for our 11:30 Mother's Day reservation, and we enjoyed adult beverages in the bar at HH prices. Outside was even better, since we wanted to chat, and the noise level was quite a bit lower outside. Service was excellent, and the choices available satisfied all of our paletes, even our brother's steak preference. The salmon salad was a tad overcooked, and the cappucino dessert was not great, but the rest was excellent! The tuna and alvocado appetizers were a bit hit, and my mom enjoyed her chicken piccata. The tiramisu was excellent, although I picked the rather dry ladyfingers off the side of it. Overall, we all thought the food was very good and service great, especially considering how crowded it was.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMMy concern was the menu, evenMy concern was the menu, even if we were there on Mother's Day and there would be small children involved, the set menu for lunch did not accommodate the children. At least they didn't offer a menu for the kids - so their meal would be $25+ for their meal designed for adults? No way!!! That was disappointing. Therefore I did not check "Kid-Friendly".5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMGirls WeekendWe came to this restaurant for a girls weekend. The service was a little slow, we noticed there weren't enough servers/bussers, but the food was amazing and they had a great deal for an appetizer, entre and dessert for $20.5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMNeed more InfoWe made our reservations via Open Table and requested "Patio dinning" but did not receive this and was told one had to telephone to get that type of reservations. It would have been nice to have that some where on Open Table telling me that and I would have called.5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMMy husband LOVES this restaurantMy husband LOVES this restaurant - breakfast, lunch or dinner, inside or out on the patio, it doesn't matter.

There were eight fun ladies celebrating a birthday and we laughed so much and had such a good time, that we might have been a little too loud at times. However, one guest at another table offered to take a group picture, so no one was too upset with our fun.
The service was excellent, food excellent and the restaurant was expecting us since I had booked through OpenTable with no problems.
Everything was perfect for us and we will definitely go to Acqua Pazza again, as well as use OpenTable.3/28/2013 12:00:00 AMThe service even on one ofThe service even on one of the most busy nights of the year was truly acceptable!
